Dr. Talmagc's sermon of Sunday has more io do with this life tiir.n the life to conic ad will he a "craminE against all forms of >1 pation Test, Proverbs vii. 2;>\ '-Till a u&rt strike through his i'ver."' Solomon's anatomical and physiological discoveries were so very great that he nearly 3.000 years ahead >A the scientists of his day. lie, more than I .OOu years before Christ, seemed to know atyu: tkc circulation of the bluou, which Harvey discovtr-d 1,019 years after Christ, for when Solomua. in Ecclesiastes. descriMng the humnn body, speaks of the pitcher at the fountain, he evidently means the three canals leu liug from the heart that receive the blood like pitehsrs. When he speaks in Ecclcsiastes of the silver cord of life, he evidently meazis the spir al marrow, about which, in our Jay, L'rs. Mayo, and Carpenter and ballon and Flint and Brown-Sequard have experimented. And !.-><] in tbe Bible, thyus anas of years before scientists discovered it. that in his time the spinal cord relaxed in old age, produciug the tremors of hand and head, "or the silver cord be loosed." In the text he reveals the fact that he had studied that largest gland of the human system, the liver, not by the electric light of the modern dissecting room, but by the dim light of a comparatively dark age, and yet had seen its important functions in the God built castle of the human body, its selecting and secreting power, its curious cells, its elongated branching tubes, a divir-; workmanship in central and right and left lobe, ana tne nepatic artery through which now the crimson tides. Oh, this vital organ is like the eve of God in that it never sleeps! Solomon knew of it, and had noticed either in vivisection or post mortem what awful attacks sin and dissipation make upon it. until the fiat of Almighty God bids the body and soul separate, and the one it comments to the grave and the other it sends to judgment. A javelin of retr.bution. not glancing of or making a slight wonnd, but piercing it from side to side "tilla dart strike through his liver." Galen and Hippocrates ascribe to the liver the most of the world's moral depression, and the word melancholy means black bile. I preach to you the gospel of health. In taking a diaenosis of diseases of the soul you must also take a diagnosis of diseases of the , body. As if to recognize this, one whole P book of the New Testament was written by a physician. Luke was a medical doctor, and he discourses much of the physical conditions and he tells of the good Samaritan's medication of the wounds .by pouring in oil and wine, and recognizes hunger as a hindrance to hearing the gospel, so the* the 5,000 were fed. He also records the sparse diet of the prodigal away from home, and the extinguished eyesight of the beggar by the wayside, and lets us knovr of the hemorrhage of the wounds of the dying Christ and the miraculous post mortem resuscitation. Any estimate of the spiritual condition that docs not include aiso the physical condition is incomplete. When the doorkeeper of congress fell tieaa from excessive joy because Burgoyne had surrendered at Saratoga, and Philip V of Spain dropped dead at the news of his country's defeat in battle, and Cardinal Wolsey faded away as the result of Henry VIII's anathema. it wa3 demonstrated that the body and soul are Siamese twins, and when you thrill the one with joy or sorrow you thrill the other. We may as well recognize the tremendous fact that there are two mighty fortresses in the human body, the heart and the liver; the heart, the fortress of the graccs: the liver, the fortress of the furies. You may have the head filled with all intellectualities, and the ear with all musical appreciation, and the mouth with all eloquence, and the hand with all industries, and r!ie heart with all generosities, and yet '-a durt strike through the liver." First, let Christian people avoid the mistake that they are all wrong"with God because they sufier from depression of spirits. Many a consecrated man has found his spiritual sky befogged and his hope of heaven blotted out and himself plunged chin deep in the slough of despond, and has said: "My heart is not right- with God, and I think I. mrief XoMmiflaa miiffl?d instead Ol being a child of light 1 an: a chiid of dark- j ness. No one can feel as gloomy as I feci j and be a Christian." And he has gone to ! his minister for consolation. uad he has col-! lected FlaTel's books, and Cecil's books, and j Baxter's books, and read and read and I read, and prayed and prayed and prayed, j and -wept and wept and rept, atrd groaned j and groaned and groaned. My brother, your trouble is not vrith the heart. It is a j gastric disorder or a rebellion of the liver.: You need a physician more than you do a i clergyman, ins nut, siu mu uwis w-n. j vm . hope of heaven, bur bile. It not only yellows i your eyeballs, and furs your tongue, and! makes your tead ache, but swoops upon | your soul in dejections and forebodings. The uevil is after you. He has uileu to uispcii your character, and he does the nest best thing for him?he raffles your peaceofmind. When he says that you are not. a forgiven soul, when he says you are not right with God, when he says that you will never get to heaven, he lies. If you are in Christ, you are just as sure of heaven as though you were there already. But satan, finding that he cannot keep you out of the promised land OonoQn Jin rhsf. the st>iesshall I not bring you any of the Eschol grapes before jj hand and that you shall have nothing hut I prickly pear and crabapple. You are just! as much a Christian now under the cloud as j you -were when you were accustomed to rise j in the morning at 5 o'clock to pray and sing j "Halleluiah, 'tis done!"' My friend Rev. Dr. Joseph F. Jones of! "PhilarlolnMo i t-rnnslot^i? enirit now. Wrote 1 a book entitled "Man, Moral and Physical," j in which he shows how different the same 1 things may appear to different people. He j says: "After the great battle on the Mincio ! in 1350 between the French and the Sardinians on the one side and the Austrians on the other, so disastrous to the latter, the defeated army retreated, followed by the victors. A description of the march of each army is given by two correspondents of the London Times, one of whom traveled with the successful host, the other with the defeated. The diiference in views and statements of the same place, scenes and events is remarkable. The former are said to be j marching through a beautiful and luxuriant j country during tfce day ana at nigat encamping where they are supplied with an abundance of the best provisions and all sorts of rural dainties. There is nothing of ivar about the preceeding except its stimulus and excitement. On the side of-the poor Aus- ? trians it is just the reverse. In his letter of the same date, describing the same places and a march over the same road, the vrriter can scarcely find worJs to set forth the suffering, impatience and disgust existing around him. What was pleasant to the former was intolerable to the latter. V.'hat maue all this difference? asks the author. 5 One condition only?the French are victori- j ens, the Austrians have been defeated.' " j >?o, my dear brother, the road you arc ! traveling is the same you have been travel- > ingaiong -while, but the difference in your j physical conditions makes it look different, j and therefore the two reports you have given : of yourself are as -widely different as the reports in the London Times from the two correspondents. Edward Payson. sometimes so far up on the mount that it seemed as if the centripetal force of earth could no loafer hold him, sometimes through a physical Jis order was so far down that it. seemed as if the nether -world would c'utch him. 1'ocr William Cowper was a most excellent Christian. and will be leved '.u the Christian church as long as it sings his hymns beginning: "There isa fountain cllo: ^ithUcoj."

Let all Chrislian physicians unite with" ministers of the gospel in persuading good people that it is not because God is against them that they sometimes feel depressed, but because of their iliseaseu body. 1 suppose David, the psalmist, was no more pious when he called on everything human -and angelic, animate and inanimate, even from snowtiake to hurricane, to praise God than when he said, "Out of the depths of hell have I crieu unto thee, 0 Lord:" or that Jeremiah w?s more pious when he wrote his prophecy than when he wrote his "Lamentations," or Jon when he sai>l, "1 know th.it my Redeemer liveth." th^u when covered over with the pustules of elephantiasis as he sat in the ::shes scratching the scabs oft" with a broken j piece of pottery: or that Alexander Cruuen. the concordist, was a better man when he compiled the book that has helped 10,000 s'.udents of the Bible than when under the power of physical disorder he was handcufied and strait waistcoated in JBethnai Green Insme asylum. "Oh,'' says some Christian man, -'no one ought to allow physical disorder to depress his soul. He ought to live so near to Uod as to be always m tae sunshiue.'' Yes, that is good advice. But I warrant that you, the man who gives the advice, has a sound liver. Thank God for a ; healthful hepatic condition, for as certainly as you lose it you will sometimes, like David, and like Jereriiah, and like Cowper. and like Alexander Cruden, and like 10,000 other invalids, be playing a dead march on ! the same organ, with which now you r>lay a | staccato. j ] ZMy object at this point, is not only tc ?emclliate the criticisms of those in good j health against those in good health, but to | show Chiistian people who are atrabilious j what is the matter with them. Do not charge j against the heart the crimes of another por- ! lion of your organism. Do not conclude be- j ca:ise the oath :o heaven is not arbored with | as line a foliage; cr tits banks beautifully : snowed with exquisite chrysanthemums as ] E once,-that therefore you are on the wrong j 1 road. The road will bring you out at the i I same gate whether you walk with the stride j j of an athlete cr cone up on crutches. ! Thousands of Christians, morbid about their 1 [ experiences, and morbid about their busi- J j ness. and morbid about the present, and j ! morbid about the future, need the sermon I ; I am now preaching. j Another practical use of this subject is for j {the young. The theory is abroad tint they j | must first sow their wild cot? and afterward : [ Michigan wheat. Let me i.reak the delusion. | | Wild oats are generally sown in the liver, j j and they can never he pulled up. They so j i preoccupy that or;: in that there is no room ] | lor the implantation of a righteous crop, j Yen see aged men about us at SO. erect. ' ngile, splendid, grand old men. iiow much j wild oats did tney sow between IS years and j 30'.' None, absolutely none. <1od does not ! very often honor with old age those who have in early life sacrificed swine on the altar of the bodily temple. Remember, 0 young man. that while in after life and after vears of dissipation vou may perhans hnve ? I your heart changed. isligion dees not change j J the liver. Trembling and staggering along ? ? these streets today are men. ail bent, an% | | decayed, and prematurely </id for the reason J | that they are paying for liens they put upon ; I ihc-ir physical estate be tore they were 30. \ By early dissipation they put on their body j a first mortgage, and a second mortgage, and a third mortgage :o the dtvil, and these mortgages are notr being foreclosed, and ail that remains of their earthly estate the undertaker will soon put out cf r-ight. Many years ago, in fulfillment, of my text, a dart ! i struck through their lirer. and it is there i | yet . God forgives, but outraged physical j i law never, never, never. That has a Sinai, j ; but do Calvary. Solomon in my text knew: what he was talking about, and he rise? up on his throne of worldly splendor to shriek out a warning to all the centuries. Stephen A. Douglas gave the name of "squatter sovereignty" to tiiose who went out west and took possession of lands and | held them by right of preoccupation. Let a j dock of sins settle on your liver before you get 25 years of age. and they will in all j nrobabilitr keer> nossession of it bv an in- ; feraal squatter sovereignty. "I promise to! pay at the bank $500 sis months from date," j says the promissory note. "I promise to j pay my life 30 years from date at the bank j of the grave/' says every infraction of the j laws of your physical being. What? AVill a man's body never complete- j ly recover from early dissipation in this J world? Never. How about the world to j come?

Physicians call it cirrhosis of the liver, or incarnation of the liver, or fatty degeneration of ' the liver, but Solomon puts all these pangs into one figure and says, "Till a dart strike through his liver." Hcsiod seemed to have some hint of this j: when he represented Prometheus, for his ! crime?, fastened to a pillar and an eagle feeding on his iive~, which was renewed ; again each night, so that the devouring went on until finally Hercules slew the ? eagle and rescued Prometheus. And a dis- . sipated earlv life assures a ferocity pecking ' away and clawing away at the liver year ( in and year out and death is the only Hercules who can break the power of its . beak or uncicsch its claw. So also others wrote fables about vultures preying upon j ' the liver. Cut there are those here with j whom it is no fable, but a terrific reality. ' Too- rrtiinw TV1T1 /-irrovr>rfoml : smoking cigars has no .idea that ho is get- : ting for himself a srnokeu liver. That j young man has no idea ihr.t he has by early dissipation so depleted his energies that he ; will go into the battle only half armed. Here is another young man who, if he put all ; his forces against the regiment of youthful temptations, in the strength of God, might , drive them back, but he is allowing them- to J J be re-enforced bv the whole army of midlife S temptations. and what but immortal defeat [ can await him'.' Ob, my ycusg brother, do sot make the mistake that thousands are making in opening the battle against sin too late, for this- ; world too lute: and for the world to come too ! late.

Intelligent growers of short staple cotton in your county as j well as mine, and all over the State, j will not forget that you would add to j the burdens ol thsir already over-bur- j denr-d industry, in order to build up j (as you think) the long staple indus- j try. They will not forget that you \ are for taxing the growers of short sta i pie in thirty-odd counties for the ben-1 efit of a very few in ''.B.-aufort. j Charleston, Georgetown and Horry/'j a vfrv siriiil number eomnarativelv ! who have a practical monopoly of the j business by natural limitation, anr1 | who have had under consideration, if | net i>i actual operation, a cocubinatioa j against tee sale of long staple seed. What have you against the grower of I short staple, any way? I do not blame the Jong staple grower for try icg to build up his industry. I wiil j cordially aid him in all legitimate j ways. Bai when the "broad states j minsbip'' exemplified in your doctrine I proposes to build up them at the ex-j pense of my people, you discredit my j intelligence When you ask me to! do this Icolish thing by abandoning i principle, I am compelled to ask: What .you lake me for? And yet the only reply you attempt to my expos ure of this type of ''broad statesmanship,"' is the utterly puerile charge; that I am looking out 'or th interest of people in my district rather than the supposed interest of some few not in my district. I plead guilty to this j charge. That is precisely what I was elected and commissioned to do. -You still scolr at the idea thai there j is Republican tendency or paternity j in your proposed tax on c';ttcn.
